Terrorism hoaxer granted bail

A woman accused of making a hoax terrorist threat to an international flight leaving Sydney airport has been granted bail.

Jannah Axiaq, 30, was on June 1 charged after allegedly telling police she overheard three people at Sydney international airport talking about committing an act of terrorism on an international flight.

"An immediate assessment of the threat was made by several agencies and it was deemed to be a hoax," police said.

During a bail application at Sydney's Central Local Court on Friday, the prosecution said there was "a high likelihood" Axiaq would "fail to appear in court" if released.

"And similar prospects, similar offences would occur while (Axiaq is) on bail," the prosecution told Magistrate Les Mabbutt.

Defence lawyers argued "that she be released to reside with her aunt and uncle," but conceded no one in the family was prepared to offer a financial surety to the court.

They asked that a justice health report on Axiaq's mental health be considered by Mr Mabbutt.
